Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital

Worth & Company, Inc. worked closely with the general contractor on the installation of HVAC, Plumbing and Medical Gas systems for the newly constructed, four-story Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital in Center Valley, Pennsylvania. An inpatient rehabilitation hospital featuring 123,00 square feet of state-of-the-art space was designed to make patients feel at home. The hospital houses 76 private inpatient rooms, spacious therapy gyms, a pharmacy, kitchen, healing garden and administration offices.

This is Good Shepherd’s first inpatient hospital since the original inpatient hospital was built at the Allentown, PA location in 1967.

Challenges Encountered & Solutions:  

While the presence of COVID-19 was winding down, the project was not void of dealing with worldwide supply chain issues. When it became apparent that certain specified materials and equipment lead times fell outside of the allotted project schedule, Worth & Company was tasked with procuring substitutes that met the required specifications.

With all the focus on the lead times and obtaining material, the utilization of Worth’s innovative technology including Computer Automated Drafting (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) as well as making good use of Worth’s advanced prefabrication and pre-assembly capabilities allowed for overcoming logistic hurdles and kept the schedule of the project on target. Amidst the logistical issues and coordination complications of the world’s supply chain, Worth still maintained our standards of safety and installation and was able to deliver the project on time. This specialized healthcare facility project exemplifies Worth’s vast capabilities and high level of commitment to meeting the customers’ expectations.
